A taste of Munster to delight passengers at Cork Airport’s new restaurant and bars

Cork Airport has today unveiled plans for a major refurbishment of the main airside bar and restaurant, with works due to commence on Monday next (January 20).

The regional aorport has become a favoured hub for passengers from Tipperary,Waterford and other nearby counties due to its location.

The new bar and restaurant “CRAFT” will reopen to the public in mid-March with a new and improved food and beverage offering, a fresh look and feel; more seating and an extensive menu showcasing locally produced ingredients.

During the refurbishment works, the existing Craft Lane bar and restaurant will be closed. Along with the refurbishment of the bar and restaurant, a new cocktail bar will also be constructed on the site of the existing Craft Lane kiosk, located adjacent to Gate 7.

Under the management of KSG, the specialist restaurant and food services company, the new CRAFT bar and restaurant will feature a completely new bar counter and seating area and a dedicated restaurant area with more seating to cater for 150 customers at any given time.

Almost 25% additional seating will be installed across the new bar and restaurant areas. A newly curated food menu, inspired by Cork’s reputation as Ireland’s gourmet capital, will prioritise the use of fresh and local artisan ingredients in preparing tantalising dishes for passengers to enjoy.

Over the course of the next two months, extensive refurbishment works will take place, including the installation of new flooring, lighting, furniture, and a modern interior décor.

Throughout the course of the refurbishment and upgrade works, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages will be readily available at Roasted Notes Café and Wine Bar and in the Food Republic food court while the new cocktail bar will open for business on January 31.
